Looks like they're trying to tidy up ck2...hoping this new expansion is more like art of war or way of life than any of their other ck2 dlc.

I probably won't buy the next CK2 dlc since I only booted it up like once after Way of Life

Those (patch?) changes look nice I guess. Maybe if performance really is noticeably improved I'll go back but I dunno. I think I may just not have another CK2 game in me.

I think I did everything I wanted to aside from making a Byzantium republic. I might give that another go one day.

I just tried to play ck2 again the other day, but the game kept popping up and pausing about every three drat days so one of three creeper 60 year old counts could hit on my young newly married duchess. I could only stand about two months of it. also, cultures were converting to french the generation after charlemange united francia.

What's a good country to play in vicky2 that i haven't played yet?

DICKHEAD
Jul 29, 2003

I don't know what countries you have played, my man.

I think Mexico in some ancient version of PDM was my most fun game just because I backed the CSA and triggered disunited states and then played peacekeeper in the American anarchy zone of a bunch of little American states warring each other and going fascist or communist all the time and forcing me to war to bring them back into the Mexican sphere.

Also it all ended with a great war where I invaded the UK through Ireland and a 4-5 million man battle that lasted like 4 years of the UK + me ferrying troops from all over into it

What's good in asia that I can make into at least a regional power that's not easy-mode japan? i don't think I've played asia besides Japan.

Im my dreams, I'm playing EU4 but countries can fall apart into shambles like they do in CK2 and also it's actually possible to pull a Charles V and just inherit a shitload of thrones.

I love that Ming does this now but they're also like, the only country that can. Burgundy can fall apart into a bunch of HRE minors, sometimes Lithuania/Poland/Ottomans implode, and France always has their minor cores disappear before they can possibly get released by anyone. Mamluks is probably the biggest offender though. Except for Syria they're just a massive block of Egyptian culture provinces with no other cores. :negative:

Basically I really hope that they make a thing where if you have really high revolt risk your peasants/particularists/whatever just go gently caress you and split off into a new random nation. Pretty much make it like CK2 where even if everything's owned by just one guy he can still get pwned by heretics and peasants splitting his land up and forming new dynasties.

yeah, I've never seen Manchu do anything of note. usually it's Dai Viet who ends up picking up the pieces, of all places

Maybe there should be a thing where once a Chinese minor gets big enough they gain the Mandate of Heaven or something and a reunification CB that never expires or something.

They'd still have the problem of it costing like a gajillion admin points to core like beijing or w/e

Do we still post about Total War in here. I bought Total War: Atilla and it's really good, but mostly it makes me wish there was a Paradox mapgame about the Gothic migrations and the Hunnic invasions. I don't know how they'd represent hordes/migrating tribes in a way that's not retarded but hey.

focused mini-campaigns with unique mechanics tailored for that particular campaign would be a cool DLC idea.

e: in fact they've been doing this for hoi for ages, they should bring it to the other games.

there was a ck2 mod about the diadochi. Though it didn't really have any flavor or special mechanics or anything so it kinda blew

The whole pseudo-CK style characters and army loyalty thing from EU: Rome would actually kind of make sense for the diadochi.

Better than Rome 2. Rome 2 is to Atilla what empire was to Napoleon.
